Help me find a spring / summer jacket

[roamingcat]

Hi all,

I’m in desperate need of a spring / summer jacket to see me through the next few months and I’m really struggling to find anything. I’m looking for something on the smart/casual side - think something I can wear with a midi dress to work, with trousers and a nice blouse, or with jeans and a T-shirt at the weekend. I’m 5ft 10 and a size 10-12, so most things suit me they just can’t be “cropped”.

If you've found anything that fits the bill recently then please share!

I've just bought a couple of these - stone and brown. For the price they are great, just wish they did it in navy!

Whistles always do jersey blazers which are useful, they do them in all sorts of colours:

I’ve also got a black/navy boucle jacket that smartens up some jeans, mine is from Uniqlo, but I also had a great one from Zara (both old).

Finally, I’ve got a kimono style short silky jacket that dresses up jeans as well, but I bought that at an indie store in Italy.

It's a small fit so I've no idea who has bought the smaller sizes!

I've bought this one, I'm not usually a fan of M&S but saw someone else recommend it on another thread and it really is lovely.
